Winner of the Abraham Lincoln Institute Book Award Women to whom
Lincoln proposed marriage, political allies and adversaries, judges
and fellow attorneys, longtime comrades, erstwhile friends--all
speak out here in words first gathered by William H. Herndon,
Lincoln's law partner, between 1865 and 1890. Historian David
Herbert Donald has called Herndon's materials "the basic source for
Abraham Lincoln's early years." Now available in paperback,
Herndon's Informants collects and annotates more than 600 letters
and interviews providing information about Abraham Lincoln's
prepolitical and prelegal careers. Some of the people Herndon
questioned were illiterate. Others could read but barely write. The
editors' undertaking took them to three major collections for the
mammoth task of transcribing aged documents that often were barely
legible. A priceless resource for scholars and anyone curious about
Lincoln and his times, Herndon's Informants includes an
introduction, scholarly annotations, a registry of the informants,
and a detailed topical index.
